At the disposal of “New” was the secret document of the Ministry of Finance, according to which the fate of the world -famous film studio has already been decided. Moreover, for funny money.

The scandal around the letter of the directors of Herman and Sokurov Putin with a request to save the Lenfilm studio from absorption by the concern “Mass Media” (SMM) raised a wave, to put it mildly, not quite honest statements. The official representative of the Federal Property Management Agency Andrei Komarov claims, for example, that the Lenfilm film studio is not included in the forecast privatization plan for the current year, and the value of the cost of shares of the film studio has not yet been carried out. The Federal Property Management Agency allegedly did not evaluate Lenfilm for the purpose of privatization, and it is not clear where the cost of the cost of a 100%package of shares of the film company was taken-105 million rubles, Komarov said.

In turn, the head of the SMM Andrei Smirnov has repeatedly stated that the AFK System concern, which includes this commercial structure, is just going to save Lenfilm from his own expense from the devastating there, preserving the brand and the “cultural point”. At the same time, the main intention of the “system” led to the shadow-to translate the legendary studio from the famous pavilions on Kamennoostrovsky Prospekt into the re-built, “specially adapted and technically equipped” bush houses “Lenfilm XXI century”. In fact, “systemic intentions” fit into one line: a culture on the settlements, in the place of iconic buildings built on the golden land-business centers and elite housing.

From the document of the Ministry of Finance, there are clear as a day and the intentions of the authorities in relation to Lenfilm, and the place of culture in its collective unconscious. We bring him with bills .

About subsidies OJSC "Lenfilm"

The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation in accordance with the order of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 4, 2011 No. AZH-P44-4491, having considered the proposal of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation dated 06.22.2011 No. 1952-01-29 AA on the allocation of additional budgetary allocations of the Ministry of Culture of Russia to provide the subsidy of the Lenfilm film studio, reports that it cannot support it for the following grounds.

The Ministry of Finance of Russia agreed on the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation “On the open joint -stock company“ The United Cinema Studio Lenfilm ”(hereinafter referred to as the draft Decree) and the draft order of the Government of the Russian Federation on approval, jointly with the closed joint -stock company“ World Russian Studios ”of the Open Joint -Studies Society“ The United Cinema Studio Lenfilm ” ( Letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated July 11, 2011 No. 05-02-03/456), which provides for the development of Lenfilm Film Studio OJSC <...> without involving budget allocations (hereinafter we distinguished by us .- “New Gazeta” ).

In accordance with the appeal of the Ministry of Culture of Russia, it is proposed to the allocation of the subsidy of the Lenfilm film studio OJSC to maintain a film studio in working condition and eliminate negative factors that pose a direct threat of continuing its activities. ”

However, according to the presented materials, the means of which the financial support of which will be a subsidy from the federal budget is supposed to be directed to capital expenses, namely: overhaul and reconstruction, the development of design estimates, which is investment costs that cannot be carried out by allocation of subsidies, but are provided in the form of budget investments and entails an appropriate increase in the authorized capital (Article 80 of the Budget Code of the Russian Federation).

In addition, we draw attention to the fact that in accordance with the provisions of the Decree project, the Government of the Russian Federation submits to the authorized capital of the open joint -stock company “The United Cinema Studio Lenfilm” 100% of the shares of the Lenfilm film studio OJSC as a contribution of the Russian Federation, whose share should be at least 25% plus one promotion.

At the same time, the authorized capital of the Lenfilm film studio, according to the accounting balance as of January 1, 2011, is 105 million rubles, which is almost 4 times less than the volume of the requested subsidy.

In addition, the materials presented do not contain the necessary calculations, in the estimate of expenses there are no types of work, indicators of the volume of work and the applied prices, and therefore it is not possible to evaluate the economic validity of the cost estimates. <...>
Thus, the Ministry of Finance of Russia cannot submit the proposal of the Russian Ministry of Culture to provide budget investments of the Lenfilm film studio in the form of a subsidy as an insufficiently substantiated and contrary to the budget legislation of the Russian Federation.

Decoding

From the document it is clear: “World Russian Studios”, which are part of the concern “Mass-Media”, have more than specific plans for Lenfilm. In addition, the state, which is part of the new OJSC, is also involved in the division, which, according to the Ministry of Finance, amounted to 105 million rubles, according to the data of the Ministry of Finance on January 1, 2011.

Note that the authorized capital and the real value of assets usually have nothing to do with each other. You can have an authorized capital of ten thousand rubles and carry out projects for billions and trillions of rubles, examples of which are the sea. That is, formally, the representative of the Federal Property Management Agency of Mosquitoes is right: Lenfilm’s property was not assessed and it is not worth it in terms of privatization. This is not a sale at all, but a kind of investment - the use of your own property to acquire a share in another company. The state will not receive direct financial benefit from this either for a penny.

It is clear that, in essence, such a deal looks absurd - it is like transferring the rights to a three -room apartment for the right to get a room in a communal apartment, while evaluating your own apartment according to the BTI method. Thus, you can only get rid of the unnecessary to you and also requiring the costs of property - subsidies to pay for utilities require, you see.

Of course, beyond common sense is the fact that, despite the already agreed draft presidential decree and government decoration, a real assessment has not been carried out. After all, the area of ​​the old Lenfilm film studio in the heart of St. Petersburg, on the Stone Island, reaches in the current form of more than three hectares (37 thousand square meters). And this is not counting nine and a half hectares on Tambasov Street in a pine clearing, the real price of the Lenfilm collection of historical films, as well as that elusive, but not significant for commercial success, but for the future of the nation, which is called art.
